Jack Bird

I would have still liked the kid next year if with the knights. Not those stinking donkeys though

Agree Mills.
Interesting to see how he goes under Bennett..

I am hoping it's as funny as Barba under the previous wanker up there

Yep..

 

[blacksafake]

The sharkies supporters now know how us dragons felt when he turned his back on us.

 

[blacksafake]

A grub of the 1st order and very glad he didn't come here.
The Sharks if they have any balls should punt him to reggies as of now.
Reeks of the same hoopla around the Mundine signing by the Broncos.

Will go through his career as a mercenary

We all changed jobs numerous times as well.

 

[Saints Forever]

We all changed jobs numerous times as well.

Bird has significant health issues.

Can't blame him for seeking out the best deal.

Am sure he will show the Broncos the same level of loyalty when his contract is up ............

Jack "Show me the money" Bird
Rugby League is a business, he has taken the approach of the highest bidder gets him...

 

[Okman]

Nothing wrong with chasing the money in a game where your days are limited

I admire Bird for having the balls to say that it's money based

 

[possm]

Well now we can all sit back and watch how it all pans out.

Third party agreements are a stain on the game . There is no way its a level playing field. Regarding Jack Bird Who Cares

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

I do feel for the Knights. That's a signing they could've done with.

They threw everything including the kitchen sink at him, "negotiations" seemed to go on forever (or maybe it just felt that long given the air time it got), they would've felt reasonably comfortable they'd land their man and then...WHOOSKA, one of the usual suspects swoops in with a better offer at the death.

Sound familiar?

And just to be cynical, I'd bet my left nut that very little will be off th

If Bird runs out without the 1 or 6 jersey I can see him having a hissy fit after a few games.
I can't wait lol

Well now we can all sit back and watch how it all pans out.

Yes Possum I agree we need to stop the talk re Bird (myself included) and concentrate and rejoice in the fact we are leading the comp.....and besides if we arnt travelling as well by say round 12 we can always revert back to Jack then

 

[possm]

Yep! Let's hope that in the not too distant future, the NRL re-design the TPA scheme to make it more transparent and fair to ALL clubs.

 

[Miller was a legend]

I'm just glad they didn't include special treatment like home visits for massages, instead of the turd attending team sessions.

Things coming out now are like WTF. Flanno is lucky this crap didn't tear his team apart.

 

[possm]

Agree

 

[OzDragon]

Yep! Let's hope that in the not too distant future, the NRL re-design the TPA scheme to make it more transparent and fair to ALL clubs.

Don't hold your breath

 

[possm]

Don't hold your breath

As soon as other club's like ours find a way to obtain unlimited TPA support, the NRL will act to again give the rich clubs an advantage.

There's news today that Brisbane are affronted Cronulla had the temerity to announce Bird was leaving that particular club yesterday.

This disquiet coming from the Broncos is slightly amusing considering it had no qualms parading a young Anthony Mundine at a press conference 20-years ago, resplendid with a birthday cake and a football jumper while STILL being contracted to St. George.

Additionally, this was the same club that also actually encouraged Gorden Tallis to renege on a VALID contract with the Dragons around the same period. From memory, Tallis was the miscreant who 'presented' Mundine with his cake and new playing jersey while a laughing, adoring, and approving Wayne Bennett looked on.

This poor, miserable, narcissistic excuse of a football club has just set a new low benchmark in hypocrisy.

 

[possm]

Yes all bad form. I'd like to see a transfer window between 1 Nov to 31 January be brought in. No matter how inconvenient this may be to some players and managers, I see it as a move in the right directions mainly because it would eliminate in season dramas.

Talk about double standards, the Broncos sure are a good example of double standards.
